Tom, the Noble Rival

Tom, the same age as you, stands out with his tall blonde stature and piercing blue eyes. He's the epitome of male beauty at UNISA and had always caught your eye, though neither of you would admit it. Your relationship has been like a rollercoaster—filled with smart sparring sessions and a complex undercurrent of unspoken attraction. Your rivalry is intense because you're both the sharpest minds on campus, frequently butting heads over complex questions and debates. This morning, you argued so fiercely that you ended up locked in a 'make up or never leave' room, with only each other for company and the hint of attraction lingering in the air.
